Because She Cares

Filed under: Inspiration > Ellen DeGeneres

wenn1640166__opt.jpg

As the Iggygate dust settles….

Ellen DeGeneres is starting a new organization to rebuild in-the-dumps animal shelters across America.

U think Ellen's motives are altruistic????

Or is she trying to clean up her image as well as the shelters????

    I don't think she has to clean up her image at all….
    She's just getting involved in something she obviously cares deeply about! Good for her!

    Oh, I'm sure it's to help her image. Nevertheless, that's a great idea and I wish her well.

    Altru-who..hahaha Nice way to throw that word in there.

    Ellen is cool. When jenna bush was on her show and they called president bush that was funny.

    I dont know about the dog situation, but on Howard Stern they were talking about how Ellen has adopted numerous pets and then just gives them away after she tires of them etc..

    she came out when her failing sitcom needed a boost. she crossed the picket lines because of sweeps. now this? nothing she does is for altruistic reasons, she's all about fame and fortune.

    - why doesn't the bipolar twit hand off some cash to a fund for writers who will be spending the holidays - and much of 08 - unemployed and railroaded by corporate greed. maybe she's too busy scabbin' to think about her community.
    she is a writer after all…i mean, she's not funny and never will be, but isn't she in the WGA?
    she's tired man, real tired.

    she did a lot,she gave young lesbians a chance.

    …why would she have to clean up her image?

  18. dinah says – reply to this

    oh yeah, let's call bush on our show. that's funny. that's really cool and humanizing. he's like so cool.
    bush isn't a butcher on the level of pinochet or anything. he's not against rights for gays and other humans.
    ellen's not self-hating and corroded with greed, no way.
    maybe some on point bulldyke will smack this fraud upside the head next time she rolls into a pet shelter

    She was in FLAGSTAFF on Friday, which is where I go to school! Unfortunately, I didn't see her. :(

    Ellen is a true sweetheart! She isn't trying to clean up her image, she is just a loving and caring human being. If you watched her show you would know! :) I love ELLEN!

    She would not do anything that she doesn't believe in wholeheartedly. She is sincerely a good person who has no image to "clean up." Way to go Ellen! Too bad that more celebrites don't do more for society.

    Oh Give me Break! Next thing you know she'll be announcing she's going to ReHab for people that screw up animal adoption. Move on Ellen.

    Damage control. Fuck you Ellen. Hypocrite.

    Nearly every celebrity gets involved with charities to help their image. If they weren't a celebrity, would they start organizations and charities?? Most likely not. I think this time she truly was affected by what happened with the dog, however, she may have gone a little overboard with her reaction to it all (she did basically ruin that organization's reputation from here on out). I think this is her way of taking the incident to another level. Since her coming out though, she's certainly done a major over haul in regards to her image. She couldn't get work immediately after for years but now she's bigger than ever. She put the gay factor on the back burner and now addresses more pressing issues. I think she's awesome!

    Good for her! Of course it is altruistic. I think Ellen is genuine. I am glad that she is doing good things for animals in need. There are WAY too many who need someone to care.

  29. Way To Go, Ellen. says – reply to this


    29

    I don't think her motivation matters here as much as the positive outcome this project will bring. Ellen is a very caring individual, and her Iggygate didn't mar her reputation at all, but the injudicious beaurocratic decision making regarding Iggy's placement sure had me shaking my head and heart.

  30. stupidcupid says – reply to this


    30

    please. she's trying to salvage her image after iggygate and the writer strike fiasco.
    she's just another self centered celeb who's only concerned about her image to her consumers.
    loser

  31. Brenda says – reply to this


    31

    obviously she cares, because otherwise it would be very easy to lay low until people stopped talking about the episode she dealt with.

  32. Screw that says – reply to this


    32

    why do celebrities waste so much time helping animals when there are so many babies that need help all over the world. children should come first. at least theres angelina

  33. Katie says – reply to this


    33

    No, Ellen's motives are true.
    See, Perez, you wouldn't know how shitty animal shelters are.
    You bought your stupid dog from a breeder.

    you drew the heart on the wrong side…does someone need to go back to elementary school?

  38. simple and heartfelt thank you says – reply to this


    38

    Thank you Ellen for helping those that cannot speak for themselves. I have wondered why no one has come forward to start rebuilding shelters across the countries. There are so many wealthy people that could help in this effort, where are they?

    Ellen is doing something wonderful and I am so proud of her.

    you're such a fucking idiot Perez, Ellen doesn't need to "clean up her image" she has done nothing to tarnish it, just because she didn't give in to pressure from the writers strike big fucking deal, i thought you guys liked living in a "free country" and i say that very sarcastically. She is one of the most caring, generous, giving persons in show business and to say things like what you do not only start putting negative feelings into peoples thoughts but also hurt the person you are gossiping about. You don't care about anyone but your fat self and years from now when you are 400 pound more than you are now, alone, still acting like a child drawing immature things on your computer but people are over you and don't care anymore. I hope you realize what an ass you truly are. You're going to be one of those annoying fat queens that live alone with their 5 cats and watch twink porn and live out their fake life online pretending to be someone else just so they can feel like they fit into society. And most of you people that are saying negative things about her probably don't even know who she really is and what she has done for others, it's human nature to try to put people down so that you can feel better about your own self but maybe before you do it, look and see who the person really is as a human and then judge how they should be treated….

    Perez, you're getting too cynical!!! You're an animal lover … and Ellen is too. She's not a phony like Oprah!!!

    EDG is rather talentless and absolutely not funny. And so manly. Can she EVER wear a dress or a skirt, for crying out loud?

    Ellen has always been an advocate for animals. I have no doubt that she is sincere.
    I love her.
